The homeless actually make great conversation and it humanizes them. If you don’t give cash, at least don’t alienate them. Granted it can be very emotionally draining.

I take it you have never been assaulted by an angry drunk before.

Dude I live in the tenderloin.

Before you played music too loud, actually. Playing music on a low volume will not give you tinnitus.

Playing music at a low volume also won't block out background noise.

Better isolation will allow you to lower the volume. Etymotic ER4XR are my current go-to.
